WRC future

[the sniper]

As for the bus thing, servicing a team of bicycles probably takes less tools and premises than servicing a team of WRC cars...

I don't think anybody's suggesting that the cars will be towed to events behind team buses, loaded up with some spares... I think this idea is being taken too literally. You'd have a coach or a more easily relocatable hospitality unit attached to a truck for team and corporate facilities. You'd have trucks for some equipment. You'd have simple gazebos for service areas and team catering. This is how servicing has been done before. This is how many privateer teams still operate. It's pretty much how the WRC teams work at tests.

Basically, they don't need to be building facilities the size of car showrooms to service their cars. Particularly on Rally GB, where you haven't even been allowed inside the Hyundai Palace in the service park as a member of the public and can barely see the cars from outside!!!

EDIT: Personally I don't actually mind them having a central service park, where the can build whatever facilities they like. I just want them to facilitate organisers having the option of having one overnight remote service, on some events in a season, at least. You could achieve a lot more with events like the Monte and Rally GB with just that amount of flexibility. I do wonder what the teams would have made of Rally GB's proposed 2020 schedule.
